Makeup: Michelle Delves
Ceremony:  Sacred Heart Cathedral
Reception:  Cafe Luna
Cake:  Swank Cake Design
Flowers:  Fresh Affairs

Cafe Luna hosted the reception and all of the details were top notch

The gnome travels with them everywhere

The team over at Swank Cakes outdid themselves on the cake.  It was so pretty we didn’t want to eat it!

Cindy looked gorgeous

Ending the day on the bouncy castle – priceless!

Jill has two stores in Raleigh, Certain Things, and has such great taste.  You just know it’s going to be a good wedding when you see a Stuart Weitzman box! 

St. Mark’s Chapel at Mordecai – so cute

Brian and the guys

something about this one makes me think of JFK and Carolyn Bassette

love these next two!!!

one of my previous couples (and dear friends) – Brooke and Brooks

all of the girls!

Last, but not least, much thanks to my friend Penny Noell for helping to second shoot!
